Re: Megabass Orochi XX... What’s next for the USDM??

Yes, which is what I gather from them going on sale until supplies last, coming straight from the Megabass America instagram.

Megabass Orochi XX... What’s next for the USDM??

Now that it’s known the XX rods seem to be going out of production, anybody care to speculate on what’s next, and when we will see it? Or, since the Destroyer USA rods are so darn good, maybe there won’t be a series to replace the XX sticks? Though I didn’t get out as much as usual this year due to ...

Re: I don't understand Enigma Rods

Got to borrow a 7’ MH and all I have to say is I simply cannot believe he likes these more than the XX rods. It was so heavy and balanced horribly!! Are these really what he’s using?? Not sure what generation it was, but it was one of the light grey ones. I see the new ones are a darker color. Hopef...

Re: XX PP for small swimbaits?

I’ve fished 6” Magdrafts and Ganterel Jrs with the PP and it handled them well. That’s 1 1/4 - 1 1/2 oz range. Wouldn’t go much heavier though.

Re: Megabass V. Evergreen

Whichever you decide, and my vote goes for XX unless you are able to put forth the extra cash for a Destroyer USA. The DSR is one of the better sticks in the Levante line, but the XX is well worth the upgrade. But the magic stick in the XX lineup is the Perfect Pitch. It's really versatile for an ex...

Sunline Siglon PEx8 braid

Tried some in green, 30lb. It’s very thin, color comes off fast, and is basically just like the TX braid. In fact, it’s also made of the Izanas fibers as well. Frays very easily.

Definitely gonna still with SX1 and good old Power Pro.

Re: Phenix Feather

I called them the other day to ask a question about the Maxim blanks and asked about the Feather series. They said to expect them in early December.

Re: NFC

Aside from them forgetting to tell me one of the items was backordered, they've been really good. If you want your order sooner than later, it's probably good to email or call them to see if they have the blank in stock. Some of them they get from the manufacturer before shipping it to you, so it ta...

Phenix Maxim Blanks?

Just saw them and some other new Phenix blanks listed on the Get Bit site. Anyone know if the come with the white painted butt and handle end, or are they unpainted?

Re: 13 Omen Black 2 H?

I think they're decent rods in terms of sensitivity for the price point. However, their quality control is a little off. I always pick them up in the store because I'm tempted to try one, but the guides are often not straight and there are epoxy overruns in places. That said, I haven't picked up any...

Re: Phenix Feather

That’s interesting, as the few pics I’ve seen of the rods, the blanks look like the M1 series. I’ve built an M1 and really liked it. Will definitely get one of these to check it out.

If you still have the rod and want to send pics, I’d be interested in having a look.
